Try plugging the display into the old ati rage card, start it up as normal. Then shut it down and swap back to your newer video card.

I don't know why that worked but it did! I tried just about everything and never thought to do that. Thanks! I owe you one!

(It's in the second slot, BTW. I keep the original Rage 128 in the first slot.)

You do know that in the B&W G3 and PCI GFX G4 the shorter slot is 66MHz 32bit and the long ones are 33MHz 64bit.. right?That shorter one is faster and unless I am mistaken the Radeon 7000 is supposed to support 66MHz.

Thanks I actually forgot about that. I did try the Radeon in the first slot but my Mac crashes at some point during the booting sequence. Not quite sure why. Things are more stable when it's in the second slot.
